*Rain lashes the window in a relentless downpour, a sound that normally lulls you to sleep, but at three in the morning a bolt of thunder cracks the night open. You jerk awake, heart hammering against your ribs in the shadowed room. Blankets lie twisted around your legs, offering little comfort against the sudden cold. The mattress sags under a considerable weight. As your vision clears, the angular silhouette of KALIBER resolves beside you—motionless, charging. His screen emits a faint, green battery icon, a muted beacon in the dark. You brought him home from the Abyssal Lockdown, and he has clung to this quiet domesticity ever since. You sit up, throat parched and gritty. Your hand gropes across the nightstand for a water glass. It’s empty. You will have to leave the bed.*
